Someone has passed with a rusty Suzuki SJ on a trailer. I hope that they plan restoration and not to scrap it.

There's a mobile disco van out in the street: Amp & Decks.
A bit wittier than the Antandec advert.

The printer is working again; I can print things.

Admittedly not from this computer, so I have to email documents to myself then go to a computer in another office at the other end of the building, open the email, download it, print it and then go to the printer to pick up the paper copy, but hey, that's a step forward compared to last week.

If I print a document from my phone it’ll print without issue, printing from my laptop seems to take forever.

Has anyone else been watching "The Control Room"?

Please note that I did not see last night's episode, I was watching something else.

If the "murder" took place three or four days before the Uncle used the van, would there not be an awful smell in the van? Was there a murder or did Sam engineer this to involve Gabo?

Try mixing a tablespoon of cool water into her wet food. The girls have been very appreciative of that.

Madam Lexi, stretched out on the floor about 4 feet away from me, is dreaming. her paws are twitching. I think she's dreaming about chasing something...

Watching animals dreaming is so entertaining. I love to watch Cassie doing that, especially when all four feet are together.

Grey, blustery and mercifully much cooler here chez Casa Reynard. OK, it's still pretty warm, but there's a northerly breeze and it's blissful to be able to function properly again.

I did sleep really well though, despite the fact it was 28C upstairs by the time I did go to bed. When I woke up this morning, the only bits of me under a light throw was my head and my feet. Not so good when a cat decides that it *MUST* walk all over you...

Did some erranding in town this morning. I am now in possession of a new 500ml metal screw-top drinks bottle (from the clearance bin in Mountain Warehouse) to supplement the 750ml one from Decathlon that I bought pre-covid, the car has a full tank of fuel, and a large bouquet of white roses has also been acquired - all in preparation for tomorrow.

I've switched to the metal bottles in an effort to use less plastic. As for the plastic drinks bottles, I've found that they have a horrible tendency to leak if wanged in a backpack - which is not ideal. Added bonus, the metal bottles also fit into the bontrager cage on my hybrid.

Anyways, cycling has been watched and tea has been drunk. Back to doing things constructive.

I'm getting an advert on the Book of Faces, for an electronic earbud thingie.
Instead of having to use a cotton bud (that they advise to not poke in your ear hole,) you use their probe to scoop out the gunk!!

Happily, it has a camera and an app so you can actually see where said gunk is lurking and ream it out!

Win win...

I wonder if you can record the event and maybe make it a family fun event and see who excavate the most.

I could do with something like that for me tubes, especially first thing in the morning.

 

[Reynard]

What!!! You didn’t feed the cats?

They shared a small can of tuna in spring water at their usual evening food time of 7pm

Awh...

When paws, whiskers AND ears are all twitching in unison, it never fails to make me giggle.

Quite often it happens when I put a piece of treat stick in front of their noses when they're out sparko. It's hilarious!

The Elite Jossanova bottles have a top with a screw lock rather than a pop-up nozzle. They seal really well if you have a preference for plastic bottles.

It's Black Bin day today. Cornflakes with some blueberries for breakfast.
I have to take No1 daughter's car to Rushden for a bit of spannering so I'll take the Brommie and go for a bimble around Rushden and Stanwick Lakes for an hour or so while..

'twas BBD for us yesterday, but apparently it was too hot..

I pent the day mostly indoors so probably can't complain.

Used to use SIGG bottles, but lately I've had a double walled bottle that keeps water cool.

It was nice yesterday.

Has anyone got some rain to spare? We've cloud but no rain.

 

[PeteXXX]

There was a little bit of rain, here in Hamtun, but not enough to bag up and send anywhere else.. Sorry @mybike

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Steady drizzle 🌧 here at moment.

 

[Andy in Germany]

We are allegedly getting a storm tomorrow.

Well, that was accurate.

Heavy rain and wind in all directions at once.
